IBG Reports and Research

International Biometric Group performs custom research for government and commercial organizations.

IBG has successfully executed over $2m in federally-funded government biometrics research for agencies including NIJ, DHS, DoD, DoS, and White House OSTP.  IBG helps agencies define their research agendas by providing objective, extensive data on the state of the art in biometric technologies. IBG has been funded to study areas such as multimodal fusion, high-resolution fingerprint algorithms, iris recognition performance and interoperability, and other cutting-edge topics.

National Institute of Justice: Case Study

IBG research evaluates commerical biometric technologies such as novel iris recognition algorithms, new-to-market vascular recognition systems, and advanced neural-net multimodal algorithms. IBG is uniquely capable of guiding new technology development and testing unique approaches to solving biometric problems.
